The Clan McLea/Livingstone Forum

How are things going in Australia these days? Nice to hear from you again. I will have to refresh my memory a bit on this one and then I will go and find that census record for you. Its great that these old forum postings are easy to access as I find folks asking about various topics we have been researching in the past. I will get on this right away.

By the way Daryll if you have cousins who are Livingstons you might want to get them to consider the Maclea Livingstone DNA project. At one Morvern Livingstone descendant has been recently tested as well as other Livingstones whose ancestry probably is connected to Macleas/Livingstones that lived at one time another the Mull/Morvern area of Western Argyll. I recall you telling me that your ancestor was the Livingstone miller at Savary and that there was good chance of your family connection with the famous Donald Livingstone (1728-1816).

No doubt you will find the info on Ohio USA historian Duncan Livingston interesting as he has first hand accounts from two elderly nieces of the famous old Donald Livingstone from the Battle of Culloden. They like Duncan's family emigrated to the States from Morvern in the 1800's. From these nieces he learned that Donald had a brother Angus that was killed at Culloden.

I believe that Hugh that is living near him at Savary in the 1779 Argyll tenants list is also a brother. I think they both had several sons as I recall according to the 1779 listing so with any luck there should a be a few Livingstone descendants of Donald and Hugh out there somewhere in the world. Sounds like you are probably one.
